Banjo Kazooie

My experience with B-K:
Bought it back then, didn't like the controls, I remember getting frustrated, I probably couldn't read the instructions well, my english was very bad when I was a kid.
I returned it and got SW Episode I Racer.
Then around 2008 I started buying old games (back when they were cheap and the collection craze wasn't at its peak yet), I got B-K, played it, found it okay but I still never finished it.
I also found the sounds a bit annoying, I especially remember one day I was playing alone at night, I was playing the snow level, and the sound the musical notes make when you collect them got so much into my nerves that I had to quit playing. And the level was plagued with these musical notes, even if I tried to avoid collecting them, they were everywhere.
Anyway, it's not really a bad game, I guess I just had a sour experience with it, in part due to my own incompetence (as a kid) and my lack of patience (the sounds as an adult).
But I still proggressed a lot, I think I got stuck in the horror themed stage.
Whats weird is that I liked DK64 and completed it at 101%

I think the trick to enjoying B-K is to accept that it is a silly childish collect-a-thon
And speedrunning it
But maybe the only reason I don't hate this game is because I've had it since I was a baby and have the whole thing memorized

I could write you a guide

Nah.
Honestly I've been tempted to buy a used Xbox one just so I could have Rare Replay and I probably wouldn't be playing any on it but Banjo and Conker, nor would I purchase any other games for the system.

>I bought a copy of it just to have it
Yeesh. What a waste of money. Anyways I never liked B&K.

>not wanting to play Blast Corps and JFG
Although I don't think the aiming in JFG would work as good on the Xbox controller as it did on the N64.

I still love it personally, bought it on the Live arcade and it looks fantastic

If you don't like the game's personality, there's nothing for you. It's an acceptable 3D platformer, with British cheekiness and an upbeat soundtrack. For BK in particular, if you're not interested by world 2 you might as well give up.

I like it up to the desert world. It seems pretty samey after that. The beach level is really comfy tho

it was pretty good if you were in the mood for something like mario 64 but not quite

It's an imitation of SM64. A graphically and aurally well-polished one, but an imitation nonetheless.

Yeah. But also superior.

I liked it during my first playthrough.

The humour was great, and it was pretty.

Just... no reason to play through it a second time.

The moveset is excessive, the need to farm items to use half of them is retarded, the platforming is mediocre at best, and the puzzles vary from pathetic to insultingly easy.

It's very noticeable that its development started as an ARPG, not a platformer. And it never quite got rid of that baggage.

Worth a playthrough, but no idea why anyone would want to play through it a second time. The actual gameplay is incredibly tedious.

Whereas Goemon's Great Adventure, Mario 64 and Rayman 2 all have incredible replay value.

Two of those even have humour that easily (out)matches BK, making them superior in every single respect.
